Putting ice cubes in your vagina can actually have negative side effects. It can cause irritation, numbness, and even frostbite. It is not recommended to insert ice cubes into the vagina. If you are experiencing any discomfort or pain in that area, it is best to consult with a healthcare professional for proper evaluation and treatment.

My TVS report says there's a heteroechoic lesion around 13-15 mm in the fundal region of the uterus, likely a fibroid. It also mentions an enlarged right ovary with a cyst, bulky cervix, and uterine fibroids. Can this be treated with medication or will I need surgery?

The best approach to treating fibroids and an ovarian cyst, especially when there's also a bulky cervix, depends on the severity of symptoms and the woman's reproductive goals. While some fibroids and cysts may be managed with medication, surgical intervention might be necessary, especially for larger or symptomatic fibroids
